Description Robert Munteanu

Consider the following markdown file

bc.. 
	![](images/Time-tracking-action.png)
![](images/Time-tracking-action.png)

	![Alt text](images/Time-tracking-action.png)
![Alt text](images/Time-tracking-action.png)

p. Only the second block is rendered, which is incorrect, since the alt attribute text is not required to be empty.

Thanks Robert for the bug report. I agree that this is not the correct behaviour, thought that this is not defined by the spec, but other implementations accect an empty alt text.

I uploaded a review request: https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/15558/

Beside the main issue (empty alt text in images) now the parser also accepts an empty title. Additional it also accepts empty link text for links, this is not very useful but compatible to other Markdown implementations. Fixed for both inline and reference style images and links.

David, are you planning to merge the change? We are planning to submit the IP log tomorrow so it would have to be in master by then.
